Cards have been cancelled, and report filed. 2.) Male transient contacted about sleeping in women’s rest- room at Battle Rock Park. Later in the day, the same male tran- sient was contacted for criminal trespass on private property. Subject arrested for criminal tres- pass. May 6 Police received a report of an audible alarm at Driftwood Elementary School. Police responded and found an open door. Curry County Sheriff’s Deputy also responded, and the two officers checked the building for intruders. No one found, door secured. Traffic enforcement activity was fairly light this week. Officers issued 17 citations for speeding, along with 17 warn- ings. There were also five warn- ings issued for seatbelt viola- tions. Police issued three cita- tions, and 13 warnings for misc. equipment violations. We again have a tie for speed- er of the week. Two drivers were cited for 47 miles an hour in a 20 mile an hour school zone, with lights flashing. These cita- tions were issued just as the chil- dren got out of school. We have one driver for dis- honorable mention. This person was cited for careless driving for turning left in front of three lanes, cutting very close to two drivers in the opposing lanes of traffic. Driver was proceeding northbound in the right lane, and decided at the last second to go to the grocery store. Driver was also cited for driving while sus- pended. Seat belt safety The Curry County Sheriff’s Office will participate in the Three Flags Safety Belt Blitz with other agencies in Curry County. The second of three Safety Belt Blitz’s for 2009 will start May 18, and go through May 31. The Three Flags Campaign is an international selective traffic enforcement program (STEP) and involves hundreds of law enforcement agencies. Since October 1993, the Campaign has sought to reduce the number of motor vehicle- related deaths and injuries by increasing public awareness of laws regarding safety belt use and other traffic issues including DUII and Speed. While these goals are pursued year-round by many agencies, the Campaign provides federal overtime fund- ing which allows police officers statewide to join together for two-week periods of intensive, high-visibility enforcement. Deputies conduct local belt use surveys and public education activities during the weeks just prior to and following each blitz. It was a very wet year Contributed new clip Deboyd Smith of Sixes River is shown measuring just how high 157 inches of rain is by using a pole next to his house. The year was 1983 and the rain poured down all year long. The original picture was taken by long-time Port Orford News Editor Paul Peterson. This year Deboyd says weʼll be lucky to ready into the 80-inch region for year-long rainfall. See page 4 for an update. Campaign performance is meas- ured by local belt use rates, enforcement contacts and public information activities reported by each agency. According to the last survey, before the blitz in February, the safety belt use rate for Curry County was 93 percent and after the last blitz, the safety belt use rate for Curry County was 99 percent%. The emphasis of this second blitz starting May 18, will be on belt use in commercial vehicles/pickups, new Child Protective Seat laws and Speed/Move-Over. As always, the motto of the Three Flags Safety Belt Blitz is “Click it or Ticket.” If your not wearing a safety belt, or your passengers are not wearing safety belts, then you should expect a ticket. It is also imperative that you wear your safety belt as it was designed to be worn. If you drive with the shoulder belt behind you, then you can also be given a ticket for improper use of a safety belt. Drive safely and responsibly. — Sergeant John Ward Tickets may be purchased at the Downtown Funzone or at the door for $10. Sunday, May 24, Laurie Johnson with her Master stu- dents of Tum Pai Tai Chi Sword Form will hold a live demon- stration at 2 p.m. at the Port Orford Public Library patio.
